[WWI] Rolls Royce ACs- Another Question

[John Ratzenberger]

The Resicast CD has several pix of an interior, although it is hard to know exactly which model RR is being shown.  I can supply 
them (plus ones I've found) to anyone needing them.  The interiors are very bare bones -- compartment had controls and two seat 
pads - turret had MG, cooling water can for MG, maybe a seat, and the belt just dangled loose.  Turret was manhandled around, 
not cranked, but I cannot tell you about the bearing race.  I have seen where compartemnt and turret interior were either white, 
or light gray, or floor light gray, rest white.  I do not have any pix of the interior of the engine compartment of an RRAC and 
so have no clue about colors there, but assume they were also painted.  For my Roden kit, which just came out of the paint booth 
and is off to semi-final assembly, I have chosen light gray for all interiors.

With all the posts re the above I have been wondering when someone
would mention the interiors of these cars for modeling of open topped
Middle East cars- are there any good photos or drawings of the
interior, especially the turret?  How did they turn them around- was
there a crank with gear teeth all the way around, or did they just
push it hard on some type of bearing mechanism?  Were they white inside?

One wonders...  Rupe
